[REBOL] Use of 'context
From: coussement:c:itc:mil:be at: 12-Apr-2001 12:56
Hi list:
I recently discover the 'context word, but I do not see what functionality
it adds compared to the creation of an object :

USAGE:
CONTEXT blk
DESCRIPTION:
Defines an underived object.
CONTEXT is a function value.
ARGUMENTS:
blk -- Object variables and values. (Type: block)
>> c: context [val: make integer! 999]
>> probe c
make object! [
val: 999
]
>> c/val
== 999
>> o: make object! [val: make integer! 999]
== 0
>> probe o
make object! [
val: 999
]
>> o/val
== 999
</snip>
What the purpose of this? What does RT means by "underived" (perhaps
un-inherited
) ?
Regards,
